Science and Technology Current Affairs Questions
200 questions with answers and explanations in this section. Last updated 2026-10-01 by the axomexam team.
Science and technology is a favourite of question setters because it links current events with the static science syllabus. ISRO launches, DRDO missile tests, new satellites, vaccine and health developments, and advances in artificial intelligence and computing are all fair game.
Axomexam groups the year's science news by theme so that you can revise mission names, launch vehicles, test sites and the purpose of each development. Where a development connects to a class six to ten concept, the explanation notes the link, which helps in the general science paper as well.
The science news that is asked most
- ISRO missions — Chandrayaan, Aditya, Gaganyaan, Mangalyaan and satellite launches with their launch vehicles.
- DRDO and defence technology — missile tests, radar systems and indigenous platforms.
- Space and astronomy — telescopes, exoplanets, black holes and international space missions.
- Health and medicine — vaccines, disease outbreaks and new treatments.
- Information technology — artificial intelligence, semiconductors, quantum computing and cybersecurity.
- Energy and environment technology — solar, green hydrogen and battery innovation.
How to link current science to the static syllabus
Most science current affairs are an application of a basic concept. A question on a satellite orbit connects to gravitation, one on a vaccine connects to immunity, and one on a new battery connects to chemistry. When you revise a piece of science news, ask which school-level chapter it belongs to. This short step turns one current affairs fact into revision for a whole topic in the general science paper.
Revision strategy for science and technology
- For every mission, note the agency, the launch vehicle, the purpose and the launch site.
- Keep the full forms of the abbreviations, because examiners often ask what an acronym stands for.
- Separate Indian developments from international ones to avoid confusion.
- Link each development to its underlying science concept while reading the explanation.
- Revise the list before the general science revision so the overlap is fresh.
- Attempt the set regularly, as new missions are added through the year.

উত্তৰ: ভেল্ক (VELC - Visible Emission Line Coronagraph) - What is the satellite launched by ISRO to study the polarization of X-ray radiation coming from black holes and neutron stars?
Answer: XPoSat (X-ray Polarimeter Satellite)
After NASA's IXPE, India is the second country in the world to place an X-ray polarimeter observatory in space.
উত্তৰ: এক্সপ'ছেট (XPoSat - X-ray Polarimeter Satellite) - What are the two main scientific payloads on the XPoSat satellite?
Answer: POLIX and XSPECT
The Raman Research Institute and U R Rao Satellite Centre have together prepared these two sensitive instruments.
উত্তৰ: পলিক্স (POLIX) আৰু এক্সপেক্ট (XSPECT) - What is the dual-frequency radar satellite built under the joint collaboration of India and the American space agency NASA?
Answer: NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar)
Using L-band and S-band radar, it will scan the Earth's ecosystems, ice sheets and earthquake-induced land displacement every 12 days.
উত্তৰ: নিছাৰ (NISAR - NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar) - What are the names of the four astronauts selected for India's first human spaceflight mission 'Gaganyaan'?

Answer: Vyommitra
This humanoid robot will monitor the pressure on the human body and cabin environment in space.
উত্তৰ: ব্যোমমিত্ৰ (Vyommitra)
Frequently Asked Questions
Is science and technology important for ADRE?
Yes. It typically contributes several questions, and the facts often overlap with the general science section of the same paper.
Do I need deep science knowledge for current affairs?
No. You need the name, the agency, the purpose and the basic concept behind each development. Detailed technical knowledge is not required.
Which ISRO missions are asked most often?
Chandrayaan, Aditya-L1, Gaganyaan and the major launch vehicle and satellite missions are asked most frequently.
Are abbreviations asked?
Yes. Questions on the full forms of ISRO, DRDO, ISRO launch vehicles and common scientific acronyms appear regularly.
Are the Science and Technology Current Affairs questions available in Assamese and English?
Yes. Science and Technology Current Affairs is bilingual: the question, every option and the full explanation are given in both Assamese and English, so you can read the problem in one language and the solution in the other.
Is the science and technology section free?
